WILL NOT HANG!
The Chicago Martyrs Must MOI
and Shall Not Be
Killed.
LET ALL WORKERS RESOLVE
That Whatever Happens Those Who
Have Suffered For us Shall

Have Suffered For us Shall
Not Die!
For the Enquirer.
When ! took up the ENQUIRER
this evening my eyes fell upon
the following passage in its edito-
rial columns:
q" have never had doubt but
the martyrs lying in the Chicago
Jail would be hanged. That sad
conviction daily receives new con-
firmation."
No, friend Haskell. they will
not hang; they must not hang.
Though their enemies were ten
times as numerous and a hundred
times more vindictive; Though all
the corrupt judges and courts in
-Christendom condemned and re-
condemned them; though millions
of dollars were used to purchase
juries and witnesses; though all
the capitalists on earth should
combine to work their destruction:
yet they ao1N moi, must not, must not
hang. t
The genius and enlightenment
of the age forbids it. The fates
which have them in their keeping
forbid it. Thousands of self-sac-
rihcing, heroic men and women
in this and other lands, who have
been guilty of the same offense as
they-the terrible crime of spread
ing discomfort among slaves, and
confusion and terror among their
masters-these forbid it. The
great heart of the masses of the
people beats for justice, and will
forbid it. All that is good, and
true, and noble in man will cry out
against the damnable conspiracy,
and will forbid it,
And why should they hang7
What have they done to deserve
death2 Nay, what have they done
that they should be deprived of
sweet liberty and the blessed sun
light2 And why should we, the
people, submit to have this thing
done? | have often said to my
self, if these comrades of ours had
done the deed for which they
are condemned to die, we could
bear to think of their suffering
death for principle loved better
than life. We would honor them
deaf as brave and resolute men,
who dared maintain the sacred
right of free speech by force of
arms. But they did not commit
the deed. Some of them but an
hour before were ignorant of the
meeting which eliminated in the
direful tragedy. The testimony
upon which they were convicted
was manufactured throughout, and
with most devilish ingenuity and
intent, yet it utterly failed to con-
meet them with the throwing of
the bomb. They are innocent men;
as innocent as any who read these
lines; as innocent as the babe at
its mothers breast. None know
this better than their would-be
butchers.
Is it not enough that these COM
rades of ours, have for year and
a half, been deprived of liberty
and the companionship of their
loved ones3 1t is not enough that
they have been maligned, insulted
and maliciously prosecuted for
that length of time, and that their
nearest and dearest friends have
been bounded by their bloody
minded enemies to the verge of
desperation? Have they all not
suffered sufficiently for their crimes
against the bourgeoise in all this,
and shall the vampires and hyenas
of society be permitted to still

CORY GARY.
The Brutal Tool Of Capitalism
and His Undesirable
Fame.
JEFFREYs RE-INCARNAYED.
An Assassin Of Liberty Whose Dagger

is Paid for from Capitals
Thefts.
For the ENQUIRER.
Fate, not merit, has made the
name of Gary immortal, but the
immortality achieved by George,
Lord Jeffreys-an Immortality of
contempt, of popular, aversion, of
time-serving poltroonery, of hypo-
critical zeal to serve power. JEFF
frys would rave, storm, brow-beat,
curse and terrrorize his unfortu-
nate victims. He took delight in
watching human suffering and es-
pecial pleasure in depicting to the
prisoner the details of the cruelty
to be inflicted. But two centuries
ago the age was rude and manners
rough. Christian civilization has
polished the age and softened
manners, yet Hangman Gary poses
as a paladin among society sa-
viors. .Jeffrey's manners, if bru-
tai, show that he had human pas
sions and frailties. He may have
clustered and brow beaten, but it
was possibly done to satisfy what
self-reproach remained in a craven
soul. But in our more polished
age passion is weakness; buster
ling, lowering of dignity; and a
hearty oath a vulgarity. The
model Judge of to-day admits no
such element of human weakness
into his shriveled soul. Like his
age he is also as polished and
cold as steel. Society has claims
which extinguish even the senti-
ment of manliness, for legal train
ing generally forbids it becoming
more than sentiment.
Years of study in the art of spe-
cial pleading to make the wrong
appear the better reason; pro-
tracted application toward mas
tering bubbles to cheat justice; fa-
miliarity with others of like men,
dacious training, with all classes
of criminality, masculine and fem
inine, with prison discipline until
what might have expanded into
human sympathy shrinks through
habitual intercourse into heartless
Indifference; applause from social
robbers who tickle his van
ity in proportion to his self-abase-
ment in becoming the tool OF
their putrescent schemes; callous-
ness formed from repeated listen
ing to hireling informers and Off
cial thugs whose profession it is
to please the paunch-bellied gen
try who despise while they use
them; a fawning attention to the
hypocrisy of cant; worship at fash
ions able shrine where Mammon
grins and leers from beneath the
altar: all have aided in modelling
our virtuous and highly respecta-
BILE Judge!
| With a heart in which the blood
flows torpid we find withered
and bloodless face incapable OF
manifesting emotion and only
moved by the flatulence of a dys-
petic stomach and a mind of cal
lous indifference to human needs
and natural eloquence unequalled
save in the ass. When man suf-
fers execution the hangman does
not protract his sufferings nor
gloat over his victim. But when
a man is adjudged guilty by per-
iured evidence and a. biased jury,
before such a caricature of human
nature and eternal justice as the
hangman on the bench, and is
asked why sentence of death
should not be pronounced upon
him for social heresy and grows
weak and faint from long con6ne-

attended with the disappearance OF
men and horses, being recorded OF
both. There have been no very dis
astrouc earthquakes in California, the
most fatal having occurred at San
Juan Capistrano during the war OF
the United States and Great Britain
at the opening of the century. Inc
loss of life was owing to the fact that
it occurred on Sunday while the in
habitants were worshiping in the
mission church. The picturesque ru-
ins of this edifice are to-day one OF
the most interesting sights on the
Pacific Coast. Looked at on a bright
moonlight night from TIE hill which
interposes between San Juan and the
sea they are indescribably beautiful,
and vie in scenic interest with almost
any ruins which can be seen in Italy
or Greece. The earthquakes recorded
in Southern California since the
American occupation have been OF a
really trivial character, although, in
the minds OF nearly all men born OF
woman superstitious horror seemst to
attend the dread temblor.

WHILE every leading town in Cali
fornia is just now diligently engaged
in holding forth its attractions to
the strangers within its gates, and,
what is better, is doing its utmost to
enhance them, Los Angeles ought
not to lag in the rear. Our street.
sprinkling system is grossly insuifi-
cient, while the work of removing
filth and garbage is done in such a
bungling manner as to offend the
nostrils and endanger the health oi
our people. We are obliged to sub
nit to the preposterous practice OF
having the refuse OF our streets
emptied into carts in broad day. with
the result that the passer by is almost
suffocated. This nuisance should be
done away with at once. 1t would
not be tolerated in torty-third rate
frontier village. Water, for sprink-
ling purposes, is abundant, and the
the system should instantly be made
to conform to our needs, while the
work OF cleaning the streets ought to
be carried on at hours which will mol
make life burden to pedestrians.

MAJOR BEN C. TRUMAN has left on
trip to the East and to Europe in
the service of the Southern and Gen.

ton is really in the interest Of adver'

represents realizing the importance
of attr acting immigration to a com
paratively undeyeloped land, illim-
itably rich in possibilities. He will
issue a number OF publications de-
voted to California, and they will be
illustrated by the best artistic talent

Great Musical Treat.

The National Opera Company,
which will open in Los Angeles next
week, is an organization OF exception
al merit. Ii not only surpasses any
thing of the kind that has ever hither-
to appeared in this city, but it is lar
ahead Of anything that has ever per-
formed west of the Rocky Mountains.
Heretofore, even in San Francisco,
they have been content with a few
great artists. A famous soprano,
contralto, tenor and baritone, with a
ch orus composed of the rag, tag and
bobtail picked up by the impresario
in the localities where he performed,
was all that the Californians have
known in the past in their own State.
Opera, in the European sense OF the
word, they have never had. The
vicious system of depending for sue
cess ON stars has thoroughly permeat-
ed the operate as we'll as the dramat-
| ic stage. In the National Opera Com
pany this is all changed. Its person
mel embraces fully three hundred and
fifty-fve artists, for even the hum
blest member of the combination de-
serves this term. The soprani, con-
tralti, tenori and the other principal
singers are all of a high grade, al
though none of them possess the
standing of Mario, Santley, Patti
or Gerster. They are all conscien-
tious and trained artists, and the
chorus, for extent, perfection OF drill
and effective singing, both male and
female, has never been approached
in any rendition of opera in the United
States. They give to the operas pre-
sented by this combination a finish
and rounded symmetry never here
tofore achieved anywhere in this
country, not even in New York. AS
to the orchestra, it is only necessary

Thomas is its director to assure the
public of notable treat. With
superb and unlimited scenic proper
ties, and the mastery directing gen.
ius of Seymour Locke, it involves no
exaggeration of phrase to assure the
people Of Los Angeles that an unex-
ampled musical experience is in store
for them. This young Pasadena inn
presario-many OF our readers may not
know that Mr.. Locke halls from this
county-has scored an unprecedented
artistic success and, it is to be heart
lily hoped, it will turn out as complete
pecuniary one as we'll. This city
covered itself with honor by the
generosity and spontaniety of its re-
ceptions of Patti and Booth-being nc
whit behind the metropolis as to both
Let us hope that our record will be
equally good in the case of the Ma
tional Opera Company.

THE Pacific Coast has for long
time been quite abstinent OF earth
quakes, but Arizona, New Mexico
and Sonora seem to have manifested a
vicious disposition to undermine this
flattering record. Since 1868 and
1872 this State has maintained an ex-
cellent reputation in the seismic line.
In the former year there was lively
scare in San Francisco, and if the
shocks had lasted much longer half
the occupants OF the hotels would
have precipitated themselves to
death. AS it was, only a few lives
were lost. In the Spring of 1872 the
center of disturbance was
in Mono and Inyo counties, queer

utmost efforts OF the Caa and B"t'et'"
were devoted to defeating move

have increased the population and

inc within the municipal jurisdiction

Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-05-09

ONE of the most callow and ofien-
sive practices OF the press OF San
Francisco is to dub every English
man who has any kind OF a handle to
his name lord or nobleman. This
piece of downright ignorance is not
confined to any one journal, but per-
vades all the dailies alike. If some
English Knight or Baronet comes
along an interview is at once sought
with this so-called "nobleman," and
the most ridiculous blunders are in
variably made. The latest instance
of this kind was in the case OF one
w. E. Manning, pretended nephew
of Cardinal Manning, who was feted
in San Francisco society and
heralded in the press as "Lord" Man
ming. Cardinal Manning is in no
sense "lord" in England, and has
not even the suggestion OF peerage
about him. His official designation
is that OF Prince of the Holy Roman
Catholic Church, with the title OF
"Eminence" according to the usages
of the Roman Curia and Catholic
countries. HIS relatives are all plain
commoners. In the English nobility
Knights and Daronets cut no figure,
and Sir John Noddy sits only in the
House of Commons il he can get
there, and never in the House OF
Lords. In the English peerage the
gradations run Baron, Viscount,
Earl, Marquis and Duke, and no
others are noblemen, with the excep-
ton that by courtesy the eldest sons
OF the higher grades of nobility take
titles, as, for instance, Lord Harting-
ton, who is the son OF a Duke and
who sits in the House of Commons,
as did the present Earl of Derby,
who was for years known as Lord
Stanley-the son OF the famous
scorpion Stanley" of O'ConnelFs
invective. 1t seems passing
strange that the conductors
of the leading San Francisco
dailies have not iamiliarized them
selves with these facts--which are
elementary in all that relates to the
British peerage-but the ignorance OF
the whole lot in this regard is simply
Bnotian.

UNREMITTrNG official labor is said
to have had its effect on our excellent
Governor, and he is about to HE him
to Highland Springs as a panacea
for his ills. If he had known what
an effect the climate of Sacramento
would have on his naturally robust
constitution he doubtless would have
declined to run. Still, by sandwiching
two or three health resorts into the
